Abstract
Examples described herein relate to a scheduling assistance sub-system for deploying a container in a cluster comprising member nodes. The scheduling assistance sub-system receives a container deployment request to deploy the container and forwards it to a container scheduler after determining the resource requirements of the container. In some examples, at the time of receiving the container deployment request, the member nodes collectively host a plurality of already-deployed containers. Responsive to receiving the container deployment request, the scheduling assistance sub-system determines if the container deployment request is assigned a pending status by the container scheduler. Further, the scheduling assistance sub-system may identify a set of preemptable containers on a single member node based on the resource requirements of the container. Furthermore, the scheduling assistance sub-system may preempt the set of preemptable containers on the single member node thereby releasing resources for deployment of the container on the single member node.
